Product Description
If you are one of the 40 million Americans overweight to the point of recommended surgical intervention, the Adjustable Gastric Band (AGB or "the band") may be the safest, most effective weight-loss method for you. Unlike conventional weight-loss surgery, which can lead to serious medical complications and nutritional deficiencies, the AGB is a minimally invasive procedure that leaves the digestive system completely intact. Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band provides a comprehensive weight management program, whether you're considering or preparing for the procedure or already living with the band. Expert laparoscopic surgeon Dr. Robert Sewell and "patient-expert" Linda Rohrbough evaluate all the promises, hype, and misinformation about this popular surgical solution--including preparation, the procedure itself, and the required post-op lifestyle changes. Drawing from interviews with dozens of AGB patients, you'll hear of the particular challenges with the band, success stories, and even the medical "miracles" (such as remission of type 2 diabetes)--alongside expert insight from nutrition, exercise, and psychology authorities. Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band is the essential guide to help you commit to a healthy regime and affect the lifestyle changes to lose weight and manage your hunger--for the rest of your life.

 Great Book!! July 15, 2010

I ordered this book as I am scheduled for Lapband surgery at the end of the month. I took it with me on vacation and finished the book within a few days.I have already done alot of research and belong to several discussions boards but this book was very imformative, written so that its easy to comprehend and in a very positive manner but always delivers the facts. I like that it talks about dealing with things such as eating out after surgery,and your mindset before and after surgery. I usually do not write reviews but I thought enough about this book to take the time to let you know that if you are thinking about getting banded or are scheduled for surgery this book will be perfect for you to read. I also purchased Weight Loss for dummies and a couple of the cookbooks and plan to read those and write reviews as well!!

I bought this book for my God-son who was considering having the Lap-Band. He says it's a good book. I have no other information about the book.

This is a must read book for anyone who is thinking about the "Band" surgery. I found it very informative and easy to read. I made a list of questions I wanted to ask my primary care physician when I went for my annual physical, especially ones dealing with my current medications. I also made a list of questions for the team who would be managing my care that I wouldn't have thought of without reading the book.

everything you need to know to be successful with your band. I keep it handy when I need a refresher or to get motivated to carry one. I have had my band since December 07 and have lost 75 pounds. I have 35 more to go and this book keeps me on the straight path to my goal. A wonderful compliment to my wonderful tool.
